What country was desert storm fought in?

If you go to Wikipedia and look under "Persian Gulf War," all the countries which participated will be listed on an easy to read table with their level of participation, and the countries which fought in Operation Desert Storm will be there. Many countries were part of the Gulf Coalition, but some provided defensive personnel for Operation Desert Shield and did not take part in Desert Storm. Others provided medical, security, or other non-combat personnel. You can probably do it faster than I can do it for you.

Did the USSR participate in Desert Storm?

No. Prior to Desert Storm there was talk that the Soviets might commit combat forces, but it did not happen. It should be remembered that the USSR had recently collapsed and was still picking itself up from the rubble. It should also be remembered that the US, Great Britain, France, and the the other Coalition countries had more than enough forces in the area to make Operation Desert Storm a smashing success. Soviet participation would have been a nice gesture, but it was non-essential.

What uniforms were worn in Operation Desert Storm?

Traditionally US Army personnel have not been issued camoflage uniforms as general issue (general issue means issued to everybody). The first general issue of camoflage uniforms for the US Army was possibly the green camoflaged BDU's of the post Vietnam War 1980's (BDU-Battle Dress Uniform). Desert Storm saw the first general issue of "Desert Camoflaged Uniforms & boots" for the US Army. Those uniforms have changed at least twice again during the current Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003-to present). During Desert Storm, the popular term for the Desert Camoflage used was "Chocolate Chip Cammies", which were much different than the DCU's (Desert Camoflage Uniform) of the early OIF/OEF campaigns. Currently all the services utilize their own combat uniform except the Navy, which maintains the DCU (For the time being).
